In response to the fast development of rising businesses like large bandwidth video and cloud computing, China Telecom keeps enlarging its broadband scale and optimizing its network structure. The company plans to increase the Internet access capacity to 8-12M for each user, thus requiring the equipments on business control layer to be transferred from 10G platforms to 40G/100G ones.

Meanwhile, Huawei's ME60 and NE40E series can be smoothly upgraded to a level of 200G per channel and could be compatible with printed circuit boards (PCB), thus satisfying the demands of China Telecom for future development and guaranteeing its investment. That is why China Telecom selected Huawei as its largest partner for the project mentioned before.
